I cycle along a canal regularly.
You would of course need to stop washing, grow dreadlocks and get a dog.

I should really hire one for a week. The problem there is that the configuration of a hire boat isn't to my taste & I'd be going for something decked out in a more traditional style with woodburners etc

Others are available but if you wish to keep costs to a minimum buy one on a boat older than 15 years as the share price won't drop any lower.
It can be tricky when on a contract to let the client know you can't move your unavailable date.Comment
